audio compression method has penetrated into
PC users and become a standard format. This
MP3 features the original audio data compres-
sion to about 12 percent of its initial size with a
high quality sound. This means that about 10
music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or
CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time with-
out having to change CDs.
